Creating Construction Lines at an Angle Relative from a Specified Direction¶
Use the AM_ConstHw command to create a construction line through a point, by specifying an angle relative to a direction specified by points or by a relative angle.
You can switch between a ray and an xline using the AM_ConstSWI command.
To create a construction line at an angle from a specified direction:
Do one of the following:
On the ribbon, click Home > Construction Lines > Construction Lines > Relative Angle from Line.
Type AM_ConstHw.
In the graphics area, do the following:
Specify a point the construction line passes through.
Specify the direction of the auxiliary line. The construction line will be created at an angle, relative to this direction.
Define a relative angle to place the construction line:
Specify a point.
- or -
Specify the Relative Angle option and type a value.
To draw multiple construction lines from the base point, specify a set of relative angles separated by |.
